Abstract

New efficient protein purification methods need to be developed to overcome product loss during purification and to lower its final price. Magnetic adsorbents emerge as a potential support which can easily separate target biomolecules from crude biological medium. The hydrophobic adsorption of recombinant lipase from Bacillus thermocatenulatus (BTL-2) in novel silica magnetic microparticles (SMMp) was investigated aiming to directly recover it from cell lysate. The adsorbent surface of SMMp was modified by activation with octyl groups (25%–100%). Adsorptions on silica-octyl (non-magnetic) were also performed to understand the process better. Using centrifuged and dialyzed enzyme, under low ionic strength, the highest enzyme adsorption (92%) and desorption yields (50%) were obtained using SMMp-octyl-75% and SMMp-octyl-25%, respectively, due to simultaneous hydrophobic and ionic interaction between charged silanol groups and the enzyme. Direct enzyme adsorption from cell lysates under high ionic strength conditions led to a high yield of enzyme adsorption with 100% desorption using SMMp-octyl-25%. Therefore, the use of SMMp-octyl allows for a simple and highly efficient BTL-2 recovery by a one-step purification technique that can even be extended to other applications.
